   <abstract xml:lang="ru">
    <p>В статье показано, как можно соединить философию управления окружающей средой и практику производства полимеров для того, чтобы экологическая нагрузка снизилась, а конкурентоспособность предприятия возросла. В ходе исследования были обследованы 27 производственных предприятий на трех континентах в период с января 2021 г. по декабрь 2023 г. В основе методов исследования — интегрированная оценка компании с трех позиций: изменений в течение ее жизненного цикла, анализ потока материалов на уровне компании и четырнадцатимерная оценка зрелости системы управления окружающей средой (EMS). Исследование показало, что компании, которые приняли интегрированную архитектуру EMS, сократили общее использование ресурсов на 23–37%, отходы — на 41–52% и подняли индексы оборота материалов на 142–167% по сравнению с базовыми операциями. Были выявлены четыре технологических пути трансформации — глубокая переработка, переход на возобновляемую энергию, внедрение биосырья и замкнутое производство, а также гибридный путь, объединяющий два или более из этих вариантов. Доказано, что те, кто пошел гибридным путем, продемонстрировали более сбалансированные результаты деятельности: улучшили интегральные индексы устойчивости в 2,7–3,5 раза по сравнению с исходными показателями и создали совокупную чистую экономическую выгоду в размере €314 т –1 за семь лет. Многомерная статистика также показала сильную положительную связь между зрелостью EMS и экологическим улучшением (коэффициент Спирмена ρ = 0,78, p &lt; 0,001). Качественный анализ выделил как решающие факторы успеха заинтересованность руководства, принятие решений на основе обработки данных и непрерывное совершенствование как составную часть бизнес-культуры. Предлагаемая схема анализа предоставляет собой прагматичный алгоритм, который производители полимеров могут применять для согласования целей роста с ускоряющимися правовыми изменениями, рыночным и моральным спросом на устойчивость.</p>

    <p>This study investigates how robust environmental-management philosophies can be woven into polymer-manufacturing practice so that ecological burdens fall while enterprise competitiveness rises. Twenty-seven production plants on three continents were examined between January 2021 and December 2023. A triangulated method combined cradle-to-gate life-cycle assessment, plant-level material-flow analysis, and a fourteen-dimension evaluation of environmental-management-system (EMS) maturity. Facilities that adopted deeply integrated EMS architectures cut overall resource use 23–37%, trimmed waste 41–52%, and lifted material-circularity indices by 142–167% in comparison with baseline operations. Four technological transition routes were documented—advanced recycling, renewable-energy substitution, bio-based feedstock introduction, and closed-loop manufacturing—and a hybrid route that merged two or more of these options. Hybrid adopters attained the most balanced performance, improving composite sustainability indices by factors of 2.7–3.5 relative to starting points and generating cumulative net economic benefits of €314 t –1 over seven years. Multivariate statistics showed a strong positive link between EMS maturity and ecological improvement (Spearman ρ = 0.78, p &lt; 0.001). Qualitative analysis singled out leadership commitment, data-driven decision protocols, and continuous-improvement cultures as decisive success factors. The work delivers a pragmatic, evidence-based framework that polymer manufacturers can apply to reconcile growth targets with the accelerating regulatory, market-driven, and moral demand for sustainability.</p>
